Blockchain Conference Abu Dhabi, the main FinTech event in the Middle East region, will be held on December 7, 2017 in Abu Dhabi. We are glad to announce that the conference agenda includes exclusive panel discussion "Legal and Regulation" with the participation of two high level speakers of the event - Founder of Legal Advice Middle East (UAE) Suzanna Kalendzhian and Director at Diacle (Hong Kong) Adam Vaziri.

Topics to be discussed

1. Cryptocurrency regulation in the world, including in UAE.

Today, the whole world is concerned about the issue of cryptocurrency regulation, and the Emirates is no exception. This topic will be covered during the first part of our discussion panel involving personal experiences shared by the qualified lawyers from around the globe. The government of the Emirate might soon follow the example of Japan and give cryptocurrency the same status as fiat currency within the legal framework, mightn’t it?

2. The legal status of ICOs and tokens.
